Bring the spirit of Morocco into your living space with this enchanting handmade Moroccan basket, beautifully crafted in Tamghart by skilled Berber artisans. Using time-honored methods passed down through generations, each basket is meticulously handwoven from local palm fibers and wrapped in luxuriously soft, vividly colored wool. The result is a cheerful, contemporary take on traditional Berber storage baskets—complete with a whimsical wool pom pom on the lidded top.
These artisan baskets are a signature of southern Moroccan craft. Berber women expertly coil and stitch the palm leaves, then embellish the body with carefully spun wool in radiant colors like orange, creating dynamic visual texture and warmth. The shape, often rounded or “pot-bellied,” and the vibrant palette are hallmarks of the region’s celebrated weaving tradition.
